Scientific paper

Metal abundances are derived for 26 field halo giants by means of high dispersion spectra and a model atmosphere analysis. The stars cover a wide range in metal abundance from slightly less than solar ([Fe/H] = -0.2) to very metal poor ([Fe/H] = -2.4). In this range the relative abundances of most of the studied elements are approximately solar. A deficiency of Ba in very metal poor stars ([Fe/H] < -1.5) such as suggested by Spite and Spite (1979) is confirmed by the present observations.
